Now Hiring ... The Real Deals

WMB knows how frustrating it is right now for people to find companies which are truly hiring, not just adding names to a database for possible future employment or filling temp staffing gaps.

We thought it helpful to pass along the names of companies adding to their employee rosters. Aol.com compiled this list of companies with the most openings over the past week, everything from sales positions to part-time jobs.

WMB hopes you (or someone you know) find this list useful. Perhaps it might lead to a key networking contact or a full-time employment offer. You just never know in today's economic roller-coaster. Good luck!
